My mom bought us a bluray player last summer. I have netflix and order movies fairly often, but it seems one out of two bluray movies just wont play for some reason and I have to send it back. It works great with dvd's, it plays both. Are bluray discs just more fussy about the player they are in or what? Sometimes it works fine and other times it just wont load and will just spit the disc out. Makes me so mad. I wanted to watch the Sex in the City 2 movie last night, got all primed up for it and the dumb thing would not play. I tried over and over and almost thru the player out the window followed by a frisbee toss of the disc, but hubby contained me, lol.
There are never any visible mars or scratches on the discs, they just wont play. Could my player be outdated already even tho it was new just 6 mos ago?
Our blu ray was doing the same for us. We had to go to the website and download the update for it, put it on a cd, pop it into the blue ray and let it work its magic.
It fixed ours. :)
We use are playstation 3 as our blu-ray player and we did have problems until we updated the software. We now have a wireless router throughout the house. Every time we turn on our playstation if there are updates, it automatically updates it for us.
Our bluray player had this problem and we had to do some sort of update to it 3 mo after we got it. Periodically, if a disk won't play, we'll do it again. I don't know the exact process but the instruction manual should tell you how to get it to update.
I don't really know that it's your blu ray player. I am also a netflix customer and I've had problems with several of the dvds they've sent me. It is extremely frustrating because they will load and play almost all the way through and then when you're about 3/4 into the movie, it freezes and just won't play. It is extremely frustrating. I didn't get to see the end of many movies!
We bought a used blueray and we've had similiar problems. We'd keep trying and blow on our disc and eventually we'd get it to work. That hasn't happened too much but it has happened. Ours is actually a playstation/blueray/DVD player. Not sure if that makes a difference.
